NEW ORTHODONTIC SERVICE: INVISALIGN®
About Invisalign®
Invisalign® is the clear way to straighten teeth using a series of customised aligners made of thin medical-grade polymer that is virtually invisible when worn. The benefits of Invisalign® include greater aesthetics and comfort, as well as better oral hygiene because the aligners are removable appliances.

More about Invisalign®
Q: How does Invisalign work?
A: Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign® translates your doctor's instructions into a series of nearly undetectable aligners. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth gradually week by week, millimetre by millimetre until you have achieved the planned result.
Q: Is Invisalign effective?
A: Thousands of doctors are treating patients with Invisalign®. It works for a wide range of people whose teeth are too crowded or have spaces between them, as well as those whose teeth may have shifted after having worn braces in their youth.
Q: How often do I have to wear my aligners?
A: Invisalign® only works when you're wearing the aligners. It is recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush and floss your teeth, or as directed by your doctor.
Q: How long does Invisalign take to achieve the intended results?
A: The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, which determines the number of aligners you need. The average is about 12 months, but only an orthodontist or dentist can determine the length of your treatment.
